Use charcoal to smelt a log into more charcoal. Status: Single source.

PS5 trophy details

  • Grade: Bronze. Set: Base game. No separately purchased DLC is implied by the catalogue's expansion-pack label.
  • Missable: no story-ending lockout; the task can be repeated in an eligible Survival world. Eligibility can still be lost through settings.
  • Difficulty: 1/10, Hizzle editorial estimate. Time: UNSURE. Hidden flag: UNSURE.
  • Players: Solo route described; online play is not required by this method. Online required: no for the described route; local play can be used for the two-player tasks.
  • Roadmap: early phase of Minecraft PS5 Platinum trophy roadmap.

What to do

  1. Smelt one log with another legitimate fuel to obtain your first charcoal.
  2. Put a fresh log into the furnace input and charcoal into its fuel slot.
  3. Take the newly produced charcoal after the smelt completes.

Before you repeat it

Coal and charcoal look similar but are different items. The fuel for the trophy smelt must be charcoal, and the input must be a log rather than planks.

Evidence and editions

The method or mechanic has a source, but a second independent current-method check is incomplete. A matching catalogue entry does not verify gameplay. PS4 players should use this method only for a matching trophy in their own stack; see Minecraft PS5 vs PS4 trophy differences. Xbox points and Java advancement equivalence are not established by this PS5 record.
